We just have to be careful so that "the cure doesn't become deadlier than the disease": in case some magnetic particles are left in it could cause greater issues perhaps than plastic. We can't just assume that "yeah don't worry bro the magnets will surely remove all magnetic particles".

To be honest if you know C#, Java or ObjectiveC you already know the core 90% of C++.

The main thing left is understanding pointers vs references vs stack vs heap allocation (egthe instance.x vs instance->x difference) because C++ has those explicitly different pointer vs non-pointer intances of "instance", while C# or Java hide that difference (so if you know C# you can slightly think of it as struct vs class in C# difference since struct is copy-by-value while class is always a reference (a pointer).

Moving away from objects doesn't make sense: objects are perfectly fine and usable. It all depends on the context. Anyone who says "don't use objects" is a religous zaelot who does't see the forest for the trees anymore. For certain extreme performance cases objects can be bad, but in ~95%+ of cases objects are perfectly fine. We are again starting to enter "it all depends on the context" territory.

IMO C++ got some very bad rep for no reason at all: it got mythologized into a "very difficult arcane language that people makes meme about". So because of this people think C++ is some boogey man, while it's really not. Unless you are making life-critical software like avionics it honestly isn't much more difficult than C# or Java.

Ironicaly you already understand the difference between pointer and non-pointer since you know instinctively that an "int" type is will get fully copied while in Java a class object is a reference (pointer). C++ just makes this even more explicity since YOU can decide if a class is a copy-by-value or a reference on the fly (assuming the class doesn't have complex sub-fields inside of it that require their own complex copy-by-value vs reference rules).

Also due to C++ being mythologized as an "super difficult language" you get some extra XP on resumes if you state that you know it.

This will be a failure of epic proportions.

Due to the complexity of the real world we can't even predict weather for 2 days in advance and you they think they can predict the world...

The sad part is that they will then use this model and its result to create policies not knowing that you can never rely on such a "copy" because even the smallest difference will create an insane amount of divergence even 1 day down the line of future simulation let alone years...

Or they have it completely upside-down:

Those parents who adopt a more enterprenurial mindset are able to make more money.

Thus they pass on this enterprenurial mindset on their children.

Children of middle class workers are indoctrinated into a 8 hour job.

In the same way one can think that children of enterprenurs are indoctrinated into entreprenurship.

Obviously being a company owner will net you much more money than being a worker.

Most middle class people are feeling guilty just for asking for a raise.

Children of enterpreneurs think completely differently.

And what if the other guy is wrong and he is attacking me and trying to get me fired regardless of the fact that he is wrong?

You fail to understand that these people cannot be reasoned with.

It doesn't matter if you are wrong or not: those people cannot be reasoned with so you do not really have a choice but to go on the offense regardless of the means you use.

Those people want you gone, fired. You will either do something about that in any way you can or you will lose your income.

There is no "rational" way fighting against someone like that. The person who is attacking already is irattational. Thus neither logic, nor common sense nor good will counter arguments will help you.

That person is like a rabid dog, once it sees you backing down it will only go in for the kill.

Stop thinking that you can "logic" or "talk" your way out.

An offense from your end, regardless if its rational or irrational is your only way of keeping your job.

Would you try to reason your way out when attacked by a mentally ill person? Obviously not, you'd know that there is no way of reasoning with someone whose world view is so warped and who is full of irrational hatred for someone who hasn't directly harmed him.

Stop thinking about logic and arguments, they will be your doom.

Going on a severe counterattack against them is your only option. The bully will only attack you harder if he sees you backing down.

But show the bully that you will punch back and he will lose his power. This might sound like a cliche but people severely underestimate the wisdom of this statement.

Also note that there is no "moral high ground" here. The person who is trying to make a stranger jobless obviously doesn't care if you or your family will starve. So the cancel culture proponent already ignored any an all morals since he obviously doesn't know your life situtation and is trying to cancel you anyway.

So really the only "moral" thing to do here is to destroy them back.

This is the most important part that needs to be understood:

Don’t back down. Don’t apologize. Don’t make clarifications, and don’t try to appease the mob. All of these will only be taken as concessions, and embolden the mob to demand more.

Also forgot to add, as he also writes: "Mock them mercilessly". This is the keypoint also.

Backing down never works, you have to mock them and attack them back.

East German commies would be proud to have you.

Nothing says dictatorship better than having a ill-defined concept such as hate-speech combines with the power of the ban hammer.
